Can A Gentile Be Saved?

Can a Gentile be saved? Overwhelmingly throughout the Biblical narrative up until this point, the story has been primarily Jewish. Even from the beginning, the Israelites were called to be a light to the nations (Genesis 12:1-3). The early church was made up of Jewish believers, but what about Gentiles? Can they be saved? This was the question that surfaced in Acts 10 when Jewish Peter meet a Gentile Roman named Cornelius. He was a God-fearing man who gave alms and prayed regularly. He even had a vision from God telling him to send for Peter (Acts 10:1-8). So he did and when Peter arrived, Cornelius fell at his feet worshiping him (Acts 10:25). Obviously, this was not the reaction that Peter was expecting, but he saw that God was at work. So what about today? The tables have turned. The question today is no longer, ”Can a Gentile be saved?” but rather, ”Can a Jew be saved?” While the answer to both questions is, ”Yes!” and we know God desires for all people to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), there is still a lot of confusion today. Join us on this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast as we discuss all of these issues and more!

Many Christians struggle to make sense of the Old Testament, or quietly wonder if it still matters. Many Jewish people have never seriously considered Jesus. But what if the two parts of the story were never meant to be separated? Hosted by Jewish followers of Jesus, Matt and Ron Davis, this podcast connects the Hebrew Scriptures with the hope of Messiah found in the New Testament. We tell the story of Israel and help Israel tell her story. God made a promise. God keeps His promises. He’s not done with Israel. And neither are we.
